This article is in line with the series of Q&A articles with leading technical experts in the field of virtualization. Magnus Andersson, Staff Solutions & Consulting Architect, technical expert and leading blogger is our next guest blogger who gave an insight into his contribution to the world of virtualization.

Tell us about your journey into the virtualisation world?

Magnus Andersson: Started with X86 based virtualization back in 2000 with desktop products and moved on to server-based products a few years later. Since 2005–2006 I have been working exclusively with virtualisation related projects.

What will be the biggest trends in the field of Virtualization in the upcoming years?

Magnus Andersson: Orchestration/Automation, flexibility between platforms, AI.

Why do you think that backups are important for any industry?

Magnus Andersson: Without a way to secure your data if the active/online data fails there is no way to offer a production-ready solution.

After having reviewed our product, what makes you think that our product stands out from competitors?

Magnus Andersson: Really can’t comment on this since if I do I bet there is a vendor which I have not reviewed which will say they do the same thing. One thing seems to be the good compression ratio I can get in my lab.

Describe our product in 1 sentence?

Magnus Andersson: Easy to install and use with support for multiple environments.

What are the improvements/suggestions needed for our product?

Magnus Andersson: Add support for additional hypervisors to become a truly cloud available backup & restore and disaster recovery platform.
